2024 Spring Salon Fundraiser

On April 7th, supporters, community leaders, and families came together to celebrate Key to Change’s 7th anniversary! The community celebrated students, raised funds for student scholarships, and honored Dr. Sheila Edwards Lange. Our audience experienced our mission first hand as our students delivered heartfelt speeches and passionate performances that left everyone inspired.
